Sneaky Birthday
Run.
Hares: Sneaky Comer & Wet ‘n Wild.
Where: Bukit Brown Chinese Cemetery
On On: Red Lantern.
The Run:
The hares made it back to the run site “just in time” after a failed negotiation with the security guards near the prison – no way were we short-cutting back to Mt Pleasant road that way. Anyway, the pack were sent off towards the cemetery gates where a circle check was solved down Lorong Halwa. Down behind the houses on Lornie Road to a T-check, then back up to the loop for a run back to near the run site for a circle check.
Here, Tiger Lily was too fast for the check and found trail down the road, unfortunately following out trail up the hill. A T-check had her completely confounded and the pack took a lot of convincing from the hare to go the other way. (Front runners, you missed the on at the top of the hill. Warning to future hares, if Tiger Lily is in your pack you need at least 1km between a circle check and the on J).
Out of the cemetery down the horse trail to the corner of Gymkana Road, where a circle check took quite a while to solve. Walkers took an unmarked short cut back via the RDA, while the runners headed up Gymkana and across Mt Pleasant into the cemetery overlooking the PIE. Down and along the PIE to the jail, where the hare had been forced to put a T-check by the jail guards, sending the pack back along the PIE on the other side.
Finally, it was a long run along Merryn Road and up Kheam Hock Road to home. Stiffy, on a bike, remarked that it was a great run…high praise indeed although he was on a bike.
The Circle:
Pubic Zipp stepped in to run the circle tonight and was so enthusiastic she started the circle at 7:45 catching the hare with his trousers down (literally). Stuff it, I had just done 14km so I continued changing at a leisurely pace while the circle commenced with no scribe and no hare.
Next week’s run: Twin Towers and Comes Quietly, end of Rifle Range Road.
Visitors / Returnees:
King Leer, Malfunktion, Sticky Ring (I thought she had rejoined), Szilvi, Impossible, Stiff, Bagless Too and Pissy.
Virgins: Anthony, Brittny, John, Angie, Adrian.
New Member: nope
Lippy: none of the committee have lippy tonight. Nevertheless, Wet ‘n Wild was too knackered to do the run twice so she was able to spy on front running Associates, in Hooray, King Lear, Malfunktion and Fat Crashing Bastard.
Awards –
nope.
Tits: absent with Virginia Slim.
Dick:
Wet ‘n Wild to Hooray for something, I was still sitting down and getting a beer and it is unlikely Wet ‘n Wild remembers the charge. No doubt well deserved.
The hare is ready, so
Crikey, so what did we think of that for a run? Run of the year agreed by all and sundry, committee take note.
Tell us about your On On:
Red Lantern, nearly three tables, first beers on the hare and best food of the year. On on of the year candidate, committee take note J (there have to be some benefits to scribing and sleeping with a committee member).
AOB:
- Malfunktion tells a travelling story from London about trying to push Impossible off a train while he was trying to get stuck in the door, or something. Give them both a drink.
- Boo was quick to notice Stiffy cycling on the hash. At least it stopped him from whinging about the length of the run.
- Fat Crashing Bastard congratulates America on selecting Obama and points out the world is safe again. Kept safe by the American military, apparently, represented at the hash tonight by the Navy. Asking one of the Navy boys why he chose the Navy, the answer was “so I wouldn’t have to run in the jungle”. Here’s to the irony….
- Maggot is quick to pile on the American military. Being passed by one of the lady sailors, she tripped and went flying. And what does one with such grace and balance do for a living? Drive the ship. “Me no likee British Sailor, Yankee pay $5 more…..”
- Kannot Kan had heard Fat Crashing Bastard remark that the King is dead, long live the King. Which King, he asks. On in British, Loose Change and FCB.
- Fat Crashing Bastard has overheard Stiff, who is now keen to join the US Navy – “girls drive the ship, sounds like it could be fun”.
- Not Tonight has noticed some other election news from the US – two states, Washington and Colorado, have legalized the hash. On it representatives of those two states, Slocum and someone.
- Wet ‘n Wild has Sneaky Comer in for a birthday drink.
- Sneaky Comer has the entire committee in for making him work on his birthday: set the run, scribe, buy the drinks, and making dinner.
- While the circle has been going on, Sybil has been running around looking for a torch, telling everyone who will listen she has lost Dances with Kerbs keys, and generally scratching around in the grass looking for them. Twin Towers has noticed her reentering the circle sheepishly – where were the keys? In Dances with Kerbs bag. Both of them get a drink.
- Stiffy points out that one of the Navy girls is a helicopter pilot and proposes the hash name Whirlybird. Eventually it is decided just to give her a drink.
- Malfunktion proposes a birthday song for the hare.
